MacBook Air Selecting Things By Itself

My MacBook is selecting things by highlighting the thing, for example a screenshot from up to down and right to left. Much like on an iPhone where switch control has a blue box going up & down on the screen, except here if you click the touchpad or mouse, it clicks the thing that was selected. How do I disable this? I think it was a keybind I pressed accidentally, but I’m not sure.

Hello refayel! Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.


We understand that your Mac is highlighting and selecting items on your display, and when you click the touchpad, whatever is highlighted on the display is what’s selected. We'd like to look into this with you to see how we can help. 


It’s likely an accessibility feature was enabled on your Mac. Some articles that may help with this are provided by Apple: 



Make it a great day!
